What is the difference between the LG LM9600 and LM8600?




John


3D TV or Smart TV


Answer
Both are high-end TVs of LG's 2012 3d tv line-up. Definitely both have smart tv as almost all high end TVs released nowadays are equipped with built-in smart tv system. Both have of course LG's 3D passive technology, comes with the 2012 motion magic remote, wi-fi capable, and powered with dual-core processor, thin bezels

The differences of the two are the LM8600 is available in 42, 47, and 55-inch only while the LM9600 has the massive 84-inch NANO Full LED display. The LM9600 also has a 240hz rating while the LM9600 has a 480hz rating.

A question about TV refresh rate and color ratios?




Joe


I have alot of ground to cover so I'll be brief. I want a new TV. I am currently using a 32 inch LCD 720p 60hz TV. When I hook up my PC to it, there is a very noticeable difference in the colors seen in games. My monitor just looks much better. This would be due to the TV being 720p, correct? (Even using VGA my monitor looks much better)

Second, what is contrast ratio exactly? I see some TVs have "dynamic" ratios of 1:20,000 while others have 1:3,000,000 (that's MILLION). Are these just mislabeled as dynamic when they should be labeled static?

Lastly, I want to purchase:

(sorry about the huge link)

Upon reading reviews, many customers say the TV experiences lag while gaming. The TV will be specifically used with an Xbox and Computer gaming. It's said if you turn off "DCM" it will fix the issue. But turning off DCM gets rid of the 120hz refresh rate (to 60hz Id imagine) which defeats the purpose of paying for a 120hz tv. Is there any other way to fix this issue?

Any other input about what TV to buy would be much appreciated. My limit was really about 500, I want nothing under 32 inches. Quality is my main desire. I only was leaning towards the above TV because of the huge discount, and it's LED.



Answer
Hi A. You have asked some really technical questions here that would take a lot of explaining in writing. I'll give you the brief version but you can check out the references below for more reading.

1. In general, computer monitors are designed to work at higher speeds and higher resolutions than HDTV because they are smaller in size and don't need a tuning receiver to process TV signals.

2. For gaming, the key features you want to focus on are:
(a) fast switching technology LCD is better than plasma
(b) faster refresh rates (higher is better)
(c) 10-bit or greater color depth
(d) Higher pixel resolutions (don't confuse this with 720p and 1080p which are TV progressive scan resolutions)
(e) Dynamic contrast ratios are not as important for gaming but need to be considered as lower priority

3. Check out the specs on you computer monitor and see how they compare to the HDTV you are reviewing.

4. Be aware that some games are not produced for optimum viewing experience on a HDTV so have a look at the packing and see if you can find any information about what quality production was used (usually you will find minimum system requirements on the casing).

Hope this helps.
